Chapter 86: Late Night Gardening

Su Yayan had no idea that a mere holographic projection image would draw the attention of Wen Jingping and invoke trepidation in the other party.

Dun Dun loved the little gifts the two of them brought back for it. When they handed them over, it pounced on them and snuggled them tightly.

Su Yayan passed the dog along with the gifts to Huo Chenhuan so he could bring them home.

Poor Dun Dun was sent away again within a few hours after it went home. It put on a valiant struggle before it left, first yapping woefully, then making noise, and finally even tried to put on a cute act, clinging to its owner’s sleeves and not letting go of her.

It was utterly helpless ever since it had a stepfather. Its mother had also transformed from being a mother to a stepmother. No matter how much it tried to make a scene, it was no match for the tender whispers of its stepfather.

“Qiqi’s flight arrives tomorrow morning, and I have to pick her up. Shall we have a meal together at noon?”

“Sure.”

Huo Chenhuan did not like meeting strangers very much but made an exception for business contacts, which was unavoidable.

Nevertheless, he appreciated that Su Yayan took the initiative to introduce her friends to him because it made him feel that Su Yayan was trying to bring him into her life and make him a part of her life.

Late that night, the old mansion of the Huo Family was in darkness. The grounds were quiet and deserted.

The only activity was at a corner of the yard. There was a person who was digging with a shovel in despair as he dug dejectedly.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and the figure who was shoveling froze suddenly, turning his head slowly like a rusty robot.

After confirming that there was nothing behind him, he let out a sigh of relief. However, he felt a hand on his shoulder at the very next second.

The night gardener, “…”

“Ah! Don’t come over, don’t come over! If you come closer again, I will attack! I mean it!”

“Hush! Why are you yelling your head off in the middle of the night? Are you not afraid of waking Young Master?”

The familiar voice that reproached him cast Yu Ziyan in a stupor, and he opened his eyes tentatively. After seeing the two people close by, he asked in a daze, “Shaoyang? Yanbai?”

Gu Shaoyang rolled his eyes at him. “Who else can we be?”

Yu Ziyan was weak in the knees, and he said furiously, “You two are too much. You came up behind me silently and patted my shoulder. Don’t you know how that humans can scare other humans to death?”

“Tsk tsk, the two of us came over out of concern for you, but it seems that our efforts are in vain. Yanbai, let’s go. We don’t have to pay attention to this white-eyed wolf.”

“Are you really here to out of concern for me? I daresay you just wanted to laugh at my expense!”

“Pfft…” It would have been better if Yu Ziyan did not say anything. Gu Shaoyang could not contain his laughter at all.

“Hahahaha, you are one to say. You went out with Young Madam and landed yourself in this situation. I could laugh to death!”

Yu Ziyan saw him guffawing heartily, and his temper flared. He wanted to find a release for his frustration and raised his shovel menacingly in an attempt to browbeat his friend. “You are one to laugh! What kind of brother are you if you refuse to help me out but instead laugh at me?”

“Okay, both of you, that’s enough.” Zuo Yanbai restrained Yu Ziyan’s hand and stood between the two. He said wearily, “What is going on? Didn’t you accompany Young Master to Ms. Su’s house today? What had happened? Why did Ziyan start gardening when he came back?”

Yu Ziyan was stumped when he heard the word “gardening”. Gu Shaoyang could not help chuckling again when he saw the expression on Yu Ziyan’s face. “It’s like this, Ms. Su’s best friend is returning tomorrow, so after lunch today, Young Master and Ms. Su went shopping together to buy gifts for her friend…”

Gu Shaoyang had not finished speaking yet when Zuo Yanbai interrupted him in surprise. “Did Young Master go shopping?”
